Fang Zhicheng said proudly: "Noodles are your masterpiece."
Qin Yuming rolled her eyes at Fang Zhicheng, her mood full of happiness. Seeing that it was still early, Fang Zhicheng helped Qin Yuming wash the dishes and asked about Yuming Dance School. Qin Yuming wiped the table and said with a smile: "Now that the school is becoming more and more famous, we don't have to worry about the source of students. Now we are preparing to open a branch school and looking for a good venue. In addition, you mentioned before that you wanted to open an artist school. I have contacted the Education Bureau and Yinzhou University respectively. They are still very interested in this form. The only drawback now is that we need capital inflow."
Cultural projects are a sunrise industry that requires a lot of investment in the early stages. It may take many years for actual results to appear. It is not easy to successfully convince investors.
Fang Zhicheng frowned and nodded, saying softly: "Try to contact the TV station more. They have the richest advertising sponsor in Yinzhou. If they are willing to help, it can solve the urgent problem. Otherwise, I can ask Yu Xin for you?"
Qin Yuming waved her hand quickly and said with a smile: "Let me go ask, it would be bad if you ask."
"Why?" Fang Zhicheng couldn't understand what Qin Yuming meant.
Qin Yuming smiled and said, "First, I don't want you to ask Xie Yuxin for help. Second, if Xie Yuxin sees you asking her for help, even if she is willing, she will probably be unhappy. You still don't understand women's minds."
Fang Zhicheng thought quietly for a moment, knowing that Qin Yuming had sharp eyes and could see that Xie Yuxin's relationship with him was not normal, and smiled: "Sister Ming, you think clearly."
Qin Yuming suddenly sighed, looked at Fang Zhicheng with mixed emotions, and said softly: "Xie Yuxin is a good woman, but she has a child and is a second marriage... I don't quite agree with you and her..."
Fang Zhicheng quickly interrupted Qin Yuming and said solemnly: "What are you talking about, sister, I will definitely marry you..."
Qin Yuming shook her head, lifted her bangs with her little finger, waved her hand, and said, "Zhicheng, our relationship is good enough now, so let's keep it up. Don't put too much pressure on me, I can't bear the outside world's eyes..."
Fang Zhicheng was about to say something, but Qin Yuming had already turned and entered the bedroom. He sighed, feeling lost, knowing that it would be difficult for Qin Yuming to let go of the outside world's eyes. If Fang Zhicheng really married Qin Yuming, how would the outside world view Qin Yuming
If a man marries a woman who is more than ten years younger than him, it is reasonable, but if a woman marries a man who is five years younger than her, it is unacceptable to the world.
Around eight o'clock, Fang Zhicheng picked up Li Hui at the gate of the municipal party committee compound, and then drove his Jetta to the provincial capital Qiongjin. On the way, he had a quick meal at the highway service station, and arrived at the Qi Group's special investment promotion conference at around one o'clock in the afternoon. The conference was jointly organized by the Huainan Provincial Government and the Qi Group. The provincial party secretary Li Siyuan and the provincial governor Bu Yiren both attended the conference, which shows how much the provincial government attaches importance to it.
All twelve cities in the province had delegations present. Yinzhou City was led by Mayor Zhang Guoxin. He saw Fang Zhicheng from a distance and was slightly stunned, but did not say much. Qian Dechen was recently attending a meeting at the provincial party committee. Because he had a good relationship with Mayor Zhang Guoxin, he was able to sit not far from Zhang Guoxin. Naturally, he also saw Fang Zhicheng and Li Hui.
After Zhang Guoxin was transferred to Yinzhou, Qian Dechen had been following Zhang Guoxin's steps. He was well aware of the secret confrontation between the top leader and the second-in-command of the municipal party committee, so he was very sensitive about the entry of the municipal party committee secretary's chief secretary into Dongtai County.
How could Fang Zhicheng come to the scene? This made Qian Dechen frown secretly. He subconsciously glanced at Zhang Guoxin, wondering if Mayor Zhang would have a grudge against him because of this matter. After all, it was a provincial investment promotion conference, and it was not easy for Zhang Guoxin to bring Qian Dechen to the scene. If he came with a delegation from the Investment Promotion Bureau, it would be a bit too utilitarian.
So, in Qian Dechen's eyes, Fang Zhicheng and Li Hui became troublemakers.
The meeting was chaired by Bu Yiren, the provincial party committee deputy secretary and governor. Li Siyuan, the provincial party committee secretary, welcomed the arrival of Qi's Group on behalf of the provincial party committee and government. He first gave a brief introduction to the situation in Huainan Province and expressed his deep expectation that Qi's Group would settle the 4 billion project in Huainan. At the same time, he also hoped that all cities and counties in Huainan would do their best to retain Qi's Group at all costs.
Afterwards, Guo Peihua, President of Qi Group, introduced the situation of the group and focused on the investment projects in Huainan Province.
There were four or five hundred people at the venue. Although Li Hui had participated in many investment promotion activities, she had rarely encountered such a large-scale one. She felt nervous. She secretly glanced at Fang Zhicheng and saw that he had a calm face and listened attentively to the speech on the stage. There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, giving people a sense of confidence that he was determined to win.
Chapter 0175 Wisdom at the Negotiation Table
The Qi Group's special negotiation meeting lasted about two hours. After the provincial party committee leaders and the president of the Qi Group gave speeches, the main leaders of the twelve cities and prefectures took the stage one after another to introduce the cities and prefectures they were in charge of, hoping that in this way they could gain the favor of the Qi Group.
However, this form of public recommendation was too official and too short, and there was nothing new about it. Guo Peihua had a calm smile on his face most of the time, and occasionally exchanged a few words with Li Siyuan beside him.
Guo Peihua did not expect to gain actual value through this special negotiation meeting. He just hoped that through such a large-scale special recommendation meeting in Huainan Province, he could obtain more resources for himself when he inspected various cities in the future. At the same time, by using this special negotiation meeting, Qi's Group could also make a name for itself in Huainan Province and avoid being targeted by some local enterprises.
After the meeting, Guo Peihua stood up, shook hands with Li Siyuan, and said sincerely: "Secretary Li, thank you for preparing such a high-level negotiation meeting for the Qi Group. We will definitely apply to the board of directors to regard Huainan Province as the key area for investment in this project."
Li Siyuan smiled and said, "Mr. Guo, please be patient. The special negotiation meeting is just a preliminary communication and exchange. The specific cooperation and what kind of policy support our government will provide to the Qi Group still need to be discussed in detail in private and openly."
Guo Peihua was slightly startled, and looked at Li Siyuan carefully, thinking that there was no private negotiation on this link in the original itinerary. Although it was a bit unexpected, Li Siyuan gave people a sense of not being abrupt. Guo Peihua thought to himself that he was worthy of being the provincial party secretary. On the surface, his attitude was sincere, but his gestures revealed a magic that made people trust him.
Guo Peihua nodded and said softly, "We also hope to have a more thorough communication and understanding with Secretary Li."
Li Siyuan nodded and whispered a few words to Governor Bu Yiren beside him. Then Governor Bu called the Secretary General of the Provincial Government and issued an order. Not long after, Guo Peihua was led by relevant staff into the conference room on the fifth floor of the conference center.
The meeting room on the fifth floor is only over 100 square meters, with a large round table in the middle, a landscape screen on the background wall, and a thick carpet on the floor, which is very comfortable to step on. Tea cups are placed on the table, and the table and chairs are carefully pulled apart to accommodate one person. The details are intriguing.
Although this private negotiation was in a hurry, seat cards had already been prepared on the table. It was obvious that the staff at the conference center were very experienced and had already printed the seat cards of important leaders in advance. In the face of this sudden change, they only needed to make a slight adjustment to be prepared for any emergency.
Qian Dechen followed Zhang Guoxin up to the fifth floor. Zhang Guoxin gave Qian Dechen a hint with his eyes, and he stopped outside the door, found a place by the window and waited quietly.
Qian Dechen thought to himself that he was lucky this time, as he happened to meet Zhang Guoxin while attending a meeting at the provincial party committee, so that was why he brought him to the Qi Group's special investment promotion conference.
As the county party secretary, Qian Dechen knew that this was a rare opportunity, but the chances of making good use of it were slim. Not to mention other provinces and cities in the country, but in Huainan alone, there are dozens of counties and districts similar to Dongtai County.
Qian Dechen is not greedy. With the strength of Dongtai County, it is impossible to attract the entire project, but if some smaller projects can be introduced into Dongtai County, it will also be an extremely remarkable political achievement.
For the county party committee leader, in an era of rapid economic development, attracting investment is a primary way to demonstrate his ability. The reason why the county head Sun Weiming has been able to challenge Qian Dechen many times in recent years is that Sun Weiming is very good at attracting investment. If Sun Weiming did not have enough resources in the business system, Dongtai County would have lost its vitality long ago.
Therefore, Qian Dechen has always acquiesced and tolerated Sun Weiming's "arrogant" attitude, but that does not mean he has no intention of defeating Sun Weiming.
The biggest reason why Qian Dechen was close to Mayor Zhang Guoxin was that Zhang Guoxin had abundant resources in the province and the Ye family was his backer, which could provide support for Qian Dechen to better manage Dongtai County. Zhang Guoxin's willingness to bring Qian Dechen to Dongtai County this time proved that his choice was correct.
Qian Dechen subconsciously touched his pocket and prepared to take out a cigarette, but he remembered that the occasion was not right, so he resisted the urge to smoke. At this moment, someone called him from behind. He turned around and saw Fang Zhicheng and Li Hui walking towards him with a smile on their faces.
"Hello, Secretary Qian!" Fang Zhicheng took out a cigarette and handed it to Qian Dechen.
Qian Dechen wanted to wave his hand to refuse, but he took the cigarette anyway. Fang Zhicheng handed him a lighter, and he lit it and took a puff, then asked calmly, "Director Fang, why are you and Li Hui here?"
Qian Dechen knew Fang Zhicheng's original identity. Although Fang Zhicheng now nominally belonged to the China Merchants Group and was under his jurisdiction, as a cadre assigned by the Municipal Party Committee and the chief secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, he naturally could not treat him with an ordinary attitude.
In Li Hui's impression, Qian Dechen had a serious attitude and a bad temper. It was rare to see Qian Dechen so humble. Not only did she look up to Fang Zhicheng, she also thought to herself that Fang Zhicheng was indeed not a simple person.
Fang Zhicheng glanced at the door of the conference room and said softly, "We heard that the Qi Group was going to invest in Huainan, so we rushed over. We happened to run into a special negotiation meeting, so we came in to listen in."
